New Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock
The custom full-range driver and highest excursion speaker of any Echo Dot produce crisp vocals and up to double the bass of the previous version. The Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock contain new sensors that enable more contextual Alexa experiences, including turning on your smart fan when it’s too warm.
The current generation incorporates an accelerometer for tap gesture controls, so you may tap the top to pause music, reject timers, or end a call. Powered by the AZ2 Neural Edge Processor, Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock process more experiences on the edge, resulting in faster answers to tap gestures, ultrasound motion detection, and Alexa queries.
The new Echo Dot with Clock has enhanced high-density dot technology for better readability. You can now ask Alexa for music titles, artists, weather, calculations, calendar event schedules, and more. The Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock are the first Echo devices with eero built-in, which improves household Wi-Fi coverage.
Echo Dot Kids
Echo Dot Kids, Amazon’s most popular kids’ smart speaker, has new Owl and Dragon designs and will soon feature new Alexa voices for Amazon Kids+ users. Alexa transforms into a fun, engaging experience for kids by speaking as an owl or dragon.
Amazon Parent Dashboard lets parents set time restrictions, filter explicit tracks, and review activities. Echo Dot Kids includes a two-year worry-free guarantee and a one-year membership to Amazon Kids+, which offers ad-free books, games, movies, Audible books, songs, and Alexa skills.
Echo Studio
The new Echo Studio gets new spatial audio processing and frequency range extension make it even better. Amazon’s spatial audio processing method improves stereo sound by making music and movie soundtracks sound more wide, clear, and present.
It mimics a hi-fi stereo system, so vocal performances are in the centre and stereo-panned instruments are on the sides, creating an immersive sound experience that reproduces the artist’s goal. Frequency range extension technology improves performance, mid-range clarity, and bass. This spatial audio processing method is available on the Echo Show 15 and will be added to other Echo devices in the future.
Echo Auto
Echo Auto has a redesigned, smaller design with an adhesive mount for easier installation. Five microphones hear your demands over music, AC, and road noise. With Echo Auto, you can listen to music, make calls, and obtain roadside help hands-free. Say, “Alexa, call Roadside Assistance” to connect with an agent who can seek aid on your behalf.
